Quantum Materials and Collective Phenomena
(JCNS-2/PGI-4)

We develop and use scattering techniques to understand the structural and magnetic order, fluctuations and excitations in magnetic systems and in highly correlated electron systems at the atomic level.

MLZ Outstation

At this its biggest outstation, JCNS currently operates 11 scattering instruments partly in cooperation with the Technische Universität München (TUM) and RWTH Aachen University. More

ILL Outstation

At the worlds highest flux research reactor at ILL in Grenoble, JCNS operates the Collaborative Research Group instruments, IN12, IN22 and D23, in a consortium with the French CEA. This gives German user groups access to world-class instruments for structural and dynamical studies. www.ill.eu

SNS Outstation

At the first Megawatt Spallation Neutron Source SNS in Oak Ridge, USA, JCNS operates a next generation spin echo spectrometer with unprecedented resolution and dynamical range. Through this contribution to the instrumentation, German users have access to the instrument suite of this unique source. More...
